Although Saudi Arabia has killed or injured several thousand women in neighboring Yemen, beheading a female is completely unprecedented inside the Kingdom thus far.

Saudi prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for a 29-year-old woman activist for crimes such as chanting slogans at a protest. Beheading a woman is unprecedented in the kingdom.

Saudi prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for five activists with non-violent charges.

All of the activists belong to the kingdom’s historically oppressed Shia minority. One is a woman.
